Fantastic coastal walk of significant length broken up into smaller approximately 500 m lengths with gates in between. Dogs are admitted but of course as a responsible dog owner it is expected to clear up their ‘business’ and keep them on a lead at appropriate times - there is also Vista Centre but it was closed because of visited on Christmas Day. Parking is £2 for two hours or £5 for the whole day.

Visited on a dull day but the views were still amazing. Charming little cafe with good coffee. I'm sure it will be even more amazing in the summer. I'll be back 😃

Lovely walks and great views. We went out of season so was super quiet and we could take our time on the walks and got plenty of pictures of the views. Recommend wellies or boots if it's recently rained.
